Her bravery is so amazing! She’s absolutely beautiful I can’t really see the difference, her heart and words actually made me cry for all dumb things I complain about ! God bless you beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
If she was ugly none of this would have happened, she would have just been injured and recovered, but being pretty means she gets to have a foundation named after herself and gets to to life talks. Absolute BS.
@@randomname4726 since when do ugly people not get injured? and when was it only possible for attractive people to start a foundation in their own name?
I do not blame the pilot here. He even told her and instructed her: Exit. Towards. The. Back. NOT towards the prop. Many people are saying he shoulda shut down the engine first, but as long as the passenger is instructed to not exit towards the front, it shouldn't be an issue. Plus, the engine that's in that plane is god-awful to hot start once it's shut down.
Well unfortunately it is an issue even if the pilot instructed the passenger to exit to the back and not to the front cause they don`t know if the passenger was listening to the pilot. I do agree the pilot should turn the plane off first and wait for the propeller to stop.
No we can't blame the pilot and he did tell her where to walk when she exited the plane. However, people forget & can't hear in a small loud airplane. And the propeller is NOT visible. It was a tragic accident. I am a 67 year old female that earned my Private Pilot license in 1989. It's a lot to learn and so much to be aware of. I would ALWAYS shut the engine when I had a person with me who was exiting the aircraft for any reason. It would be best to have a rule to do so. This beautiful young lady would not have had to go through this. I am so happy for her. I remember when this occurred as I live in the Dallas area.
A beautiful person inside and out. I love that she's helping others when she could just as easily be angry & feel sorry for herself. What I don't understand is why insurance won't cover prostheses for everyone, as if helping people feel complete is a waste of money (of which they have PLENTY) in their view.
Good people do NOT sue other good people. Personal responsibility is a true reflection of a persons character. She would only inspire those that take advantage of others for their own monetary benefit casting aside doing the right thing and taking responsibly for your own lack of self awareness and your position within your surroundings. She wasn't in the basement playing a video gamr. She was in an aircraft with a pilot that lets anyone be a passanger without taking an IQ test or having to answer a series of skill testing aeronautical questions . BASIC INFORMATION IS the plane has a propeller that propels it forward. FACT is she looked at it ( the propeller) out the windshield for the duration of the flight then she got out at the end and went to give it ( the propeller) a hug or some stupid crap. That behavior makes me shutter. Nothing inspiring there.

This is also about machine safety. An exposed lethal potential should never be allowed to be in proximity or direction to have the slightest potential of causing harm. It is not about being smart or careful. It is in case of the unexpected as well. People with long scarfs blowing in the wind, kids running away, and yes party goers being ungrounded. Its the same reason why expert gun owners would never allow someone to even be slightly downrange even if off to the side. They have enough self respect, humbleness, and self responsibility in harnessing such awesome power that they have the compassion for the potential of an accident that you cant even begin to imagine.
I was reminded of this when a ground crew member was sucked into the engine of a jet in Alabama recently, be aware of your surroundings at all times, it doesn't matter if you're just walking down the street or at home, there is danger lurking everywhere, that doesn't mean that you should become a paranoid mess just use a bit of common sense.

@@darrinsteven7002 I think you do make valid points, but I wonder IF the pilot, who is responsible for the planes running, did anything wrong, like not turn it off as people exited the plane.

What about the rest of the 9 minutes of human connection that will be inevitable by someone humbled into authenticity by such a tragic incident?
I remember this well. Some sorry individuals created a wall on Facebook that mocked her. FB ignored requests to remove it. I only got hate, myself, for challenging them. In the end ? courage, faith, and love prevailed.
Heros save lives. They do not sue others for 200,000 over their own lack of awareness. Ridiculous Sad for her but how wrong of her to sue for something that is her own fault.
It was dark? There are passenger safety laws re embarking & disembarking or she wouldn't have been successful. My partner works for a large airline. Passengers do not leave a still running plane. Ever.
@@sarahholland2600 the statement was she exited the aircraft safety after being talked to by the.pilot. She walk away on the tarmac, then returned to the front of the aircraft to thank the family friend pilot once again. Sadly walking into the prop. Read more. Learn more. Self awareness is a personal responsibility not a right. It is a lot of work and commitment to better ones self.
You are an amazing girl Lauren. Congrats on your marriage and on becoming a mom. I was so worried from the 1st day the accident happen. One makes mistakes, we do not pay attention to what in this case, the Pilot told you. He gave the correct instructions to you, the passenger. Of course nothing should be blamed on him, nothing. I used to be a sports parachute Jump Plane Pilot and we always loaded the plane while the engine was on and everybody, from first time student jumpers to highly experienced skydivers, all knew to approach the entrance door AWAY from the propeller...Fortunately after hundreds of flights, hundreds no problems ever happened. Cheers Lauren, a fraternal hug to you
By what happened I think God was saying "you're not supposed to be a model". So God sought to close that door and perhaps because helping people who are messed up for life is a better worthy cause
@J&S Luvcrm2014 A car driver has a duty of care towards other road users. I think this includes his/her passengers. Even if the car breaks down & is parked on the hard shoulder the driver has to make sure that e.g. everyone gets out on the safe side. Advice from the police: "Ensure that passengers keep away from the carriageway and hard shoulder, and that children are kept under control"
Its very common/standard practice in many places. Helicopter pilots will sometimes guide people on/off a helicopter with moving blades head and direct the person to duck and keep their head down by pressing gently on their head as they get on/off the helicopter. The giant rotating blade above your head is usually enough to make people keep their heads down. Likewise for seeing a giant rotation blade in front of you and/or hearing it is often enough to make you not walk into it.
It is the responsibility of the pilot to make sure the engine is turned off before anyone gets in or out of the airplane. A spinning propeller is very difficult to see and pilots know this.
I'm really glad she's okay, but it seems so incredibly careless (notice I didn't say stupid) to walk into a plane propeller. You know where it is as you are exiting the plane, even in the dark. You just walk in ANY direction except towards the propeller until you are a reasonable distance from the plane. There's a reason why this doesn't happen very frequently, because most people use common sense. In any case, ironically, it seems to have changed her life for the better.
It was dark out when they landed u don't see a spinning propeller in the dark let alone in daylight when it's going super fast. Could happen to anybody
The same thing just happened to a college student, he walked right into the blade and died. I think the Pilot should turn the plane off first cause not everyone is paying attention to the pilot`s instructions and not everyone uses just common sense.
HOLD UP PEOPLE, YALL JUST GONNA SIT HERE FOR ANOTHER 10 MINUTES TILL THE PROP STOPPED, OH YOU THINK ITS A BAD IDEA TO SIT ON IN A FULLY EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE FILLED UP ROCKET ON AN ACTIVE RUNWAY? WELL KAREN SAID STAY PUT SO BETTER LISTEN
There are way too many insensitive comments (blaming and/or insulting the victim) on this and other posts about this incident. In my opinion, the pilot should not have been allowing pax to exit the plane while the prop was spinning (even though he apparently gave her a warning). Full stop. This young lady was not experienced in the aviation field and almost certainly wasn't as aware of the dangers of an idling aircraft as professionals in the field would be. Even an experienced aviator, in a momentary lapse of attention could have run into a spinning prop however, especially at night (when this took place) and the prop is even harder to see.
My God, a miracle. What a incredible woman. What a beauty. And so happy for her and Jason.
